...That's a joke, friends. It's hard work. We're in the Grand Palais at eight each morning for the day's first feature, which is followed by three to six more "unmissable" films, most of which will never get to a U.S. multiplex. We slog to press conferences and roundtable luncheons with the filmmakers. With a mountain of multilingual booklets and press releases clogging our mailboxes, we sift through more documents than the 9/11 Commission. Then we rush to our computers to bat out stories like this for magazines, newspapers and websites around the world...

As for Diana, John Travolta rated the Princess of Wales 10 out of 10 after a smashing Saturday Night Fever pas de deux that stopped other White House dancers in their tracks. "I tried to do my fanciest footwork with her," said the still glowing actor afterward. "We did well together." Of her much discussed clothes, Couturier Geoffrey Beene observed in the New York Times: "Some...
...Vietnam War protest circulated on the Internet, she knows she's still too politically hot to support any candidate publicly. (She "hopes for a Hillary Clinton presidency," but a decade of red-state living makes her doubt its likelihood.) Instead, Fonda spends most of her free time at the multiplex (she loved The Aviator and Finding Neverland) or with her family. Her once contentious relationship with daughter Vanessa Vadim, 36, has improved. Vadim and her two young children, as well as Fonda's other daughter, Mary Luana Williams (known as Lulu), 36, an African American whom Fonda unofficially adopted when...
